Hi Modaak and thanks so much for your post!
It seems that your background is solid, but I'd really want to know more about what you hope to do post MBA in order to guide you in your choices of schools and help you refine your list. As it stands now, this list looks somewhat balanced, but it would be helpful to know what areas you hope to focus on in business school and what you see yourself doing when you graduate.
Feel free to contact us at [email protected] for a more detailed, free initial assessment.
Best,
Deena
